This
flag had nothing to do with Nazi Germany or any other Nazi
organization. The swastika long predates the Nazi use of that symbol and
remains in use in India.
In this case, the swastika is part of
the house flag of the Scindia Steam Navigation Company operating out of
Bombay, India. That shipping company operated from 1919 until the 1980s.
This flag was made in about 1951. It’s one of hundreds of maritime flags owned by the Royal Museums in Greenwich, UK. You can find other notable selections at Messy Nessy Chic.
